Year 4 Patient Clerkings

 

Current Assessment

Patient Clerkings
Over the course of the year students are required to write up 93 patient clerkings. Each must be neatly written or typed up, reviewed by a clinical teacher and signed off as at least ‘acceptable, AND a summary logged electronically on the student SPIDER system. 

Both clerkings and presentations may need to be repeated until they are at an appropriate standard.

Verbal Presentations
Students are required to present 13 of their case histories verbally to a senior clinician. This is to ensure that students can summarise and present the case verbally as required in LOCAS. These must also be signed off as at least ‘acceptable’ in the feedback section of the clinical portfolio.
